I have different technical questions I want to ask. I went to Stack Overflow and they blocked registration with a VPN. It’s really fucking annoying. I can buy a residential IP to bypass this, but I’d rather just not use these enshitified platforms that are so hostile to VPNs.

Is there any decent alternative to Stack Overflow? I have tried getting AI answers to the technical question but they are not good.

And no, I can’t just create a github ID using VPN to login, they block github logins based on IP also.

    How do you know your VPN is not just doing the same things? Anything that you think is secure is only so temporarily because it becomes a target for state and private security firms. E.g. a private security company from Sweden could infiltrate a VPN provider than that security firm sells the data to states and other private firms. These firms are owned by the same conglomerates that own everything else and they consolidate the data. That is giving the VPN provider the benefit of the doubt, that they aren’t just lying to you.
